Sandy Beach — Attraction in Lake Mills

Sandy Beach is a great local beach to visit. The water is wonderful and clean and there is plenty of shaded areas if you need a break from the sun. Grills are available if you are able to snag one. Nice size shelter for get together. They have a variety of things to do: sand volleyball, paddle board rental, kayak rental. If you love Devil's Lake but dont want to drive the distance or have to get there super early to get a spot, Sandy Lake is about 15-20 minutes from Madison and just as beautiful. Parking does fill up on really nice days and there is additional road parking or there is another parking area further away by their park that isn't a terrible walk but if you have stuff to transport you will want extra hands or a wagon to get everything...

Very large beach area. The water is fairly clear but fairly cold in June. Lots of drunks screaming people and someone brought a boombox and for whatever reason placed it right next to me and my baby and then just walked away? He was holding a beer and clearly drunk but that was upsetting for my baby to go through. The sand was okay but a fair bit of rougher rocks along the shoreline. Very loud and large crowds on the weekend but enough space that you should be able to stay fairly on ur own if u wish. Overall I’d return just due to the clarity of the water. That was the biggest pro. My biggest con would be the amount of drunk people around. Not very family friendly to be around that...

My family just spent all day at this AWESOME beach for my 45th birthday. Hands down the cleanest, nicest beach we've visited this year. Deep sandy beach, and clean clear water that's 78 degrees!!.....To all the locals that make this beach so nice... THANK YOU!!! and keep up the great work!!.....We then went into town and enjoyed a great meal at La Mariachi Mexican Restaurant. I have not been to Lake Mills in over 30 years and no idea what to expect. Needless to say, the Town and Beach get a double gold star on our map and we will be returning many times this summer for more fun...
